Despite being the crappiest weather in 20 years, (four lost fishing days) it was still a great season, and great fish price.\ One of my young crewmen, 17 y.o., got paid yesterday, checkout what he bought with this years crew share today, he blew nearly his entire paycheck. Oh well, I'm happy for him, I've never owned a truck this nice. Second day fishing, June 26. [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-UigxBHDgQQ[/video] Last day fishing, July 18.

No fresh halibut to be had and frozen is $25 a pound if you could find it. I think most of the catch is going to restaurants where they can upsell it. Wild salt water fish and crabs except for junk rockfish is expensive. Last edited by Slick Pan; Yesterday at 05:34 AM.
